Implanon side effects??

Question

Im considering using implanon as a birth control method. What have been the pros and cons to using it?

Answer

I would never recommend this to anyone on the larger side if they have weight issues. I gained a lot of weight in a short space of time, I had it removed 2 years later after gaining almost 6.5 stone more than anticipated, my own fault mixed with my appetite being manipulated by the arm tube.. 
​
​Plus sides for me personally I had no periods, alhough still suffered the cramps... my periods were finally regular .. And of course I was protected.

Answer

Dislike it! First 3mths it was okay then i got heavy long periods im talking 1mth long period then spotting until the next period and im anemic. Not to mention the migranes, feeling sick, nauseous eehhh. Tomorrow 07/02 marks one year but ive decided to take it out for my health. Goodluck if you decide on it.

Answer

I was on my period for 7 months with it in. I became depressed and it wasn't until I read up on a girl who committed suicide because of ot that I was encouraged to get it removed. Now I feel great!

Answer

I had Implanon for the full three years. I did have some irregular spotting the first few months, then nothing for the rest of the time. I loved it. It did increase my appetite so I gained weight

Answer

I loved it the first three years I had it. When I got it in I had hot flashes but that was it, and it was smooth sailing for the next three years. I eventually didn't get my period at all which was awesome, since before hand my periods were insanely painful and horrible. 
​
​However when I got it removed and a new one put in, my hormones went berserk and I was a crying mess. So I took it out and am on the pill. 
​
​Good luck!

Answer

Totally hated it. Horrible. I had a first few good months with it where i didn't get a period, then all of a sudden I had a period every 3 weeks for 2 weeks at a time. I had daily migraines because of it and felt slightly depressed because of it too. The only pro about it is that it did it's job and id isn't get pregnant.
